With an impressive cast, Now You See Me sees a team of super illusionists called “The Four Horsemen” attempt to stay ahead of an elite FBI squad out to prove their involvement in a series of grandiose robberies. Targeting corrupt business leaders, The Four Horsemen shower their audiences with the stolen “booty” from these unsuspecting corporate victims.
Four gifted magicians— J. Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), Henley Reeves (Isla Fisher), Jack Wilder (Dave Franco), and Merritt McKinney (Woody Harrelson)—are brought together, by a mysterious benefactor and, one year later, perform in Las Vegas as "The Four Horsemen" sponsored by Arthur Tressler (Michael Caine), an insurance magnate.
FBI agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) is called to investigate the theft. They interrogate the Four Horsemen, but release them when no explanation for the theft can be found other than magic. Rhodes then meets Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman), an ex-magician who makes money by revealing the secrets behind other magicians' tricks. Bradley was in the audience and deduced that the Four Horsemen stole the money weeks before, and manipulated the audience into believing it happened in real time.
Now You See Me, is a whirlwind film with twists that will leave you wondering who is on who’s side. Manipulation and illusion are plentiful throughout this rollercoaster storyline as you find yourself trying to pre-empt the finale.
Now You See Me is on now in cinemas nationally.
